The cgconfig Service
The cgconfig Service
The cgconfig service installed with the libcgroup package provides a convenient way to create hierarchies, attach subsystems to hierarchies, and manage cgroups within those hierarchies. It is recommended that you use cgconfig to manage hierarchies and cgroups on your system.
The cgconfig service is not started by default on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. When you start the service with chkconfig, it reads the cgroup configuration file — /etc/cgconfig.conf. Cgroups are therefore recreated from session to session and become persistent. Depending on the contents of the configuration file, cgconfig can create hierarchies, mount necessary file systems, create cgroups, and set subsystem parameters for each group.
The default /etc/cgconfig.conf file installed with the libcgroup package creates and mounts an individual hierarchy for each subsystem, and attaches the subsystems to these hierarchies.
If you stop the cgconfig service (with the service cgconfig stop command), it unmounts all the hierarchies that it mounted.
